Here is yet another patron portrait that I managed to finish today! ๐ This one was so much fun because of the lighting and the angle of the original selfie, (swipe to see it!) and I really enjoyed making it look dramatic โจ I'll be posting a process video of this piece for all Big-Hearted Butterflies and a PSD for Devoted Dragonflies!

Here it is! This is the official rewards list for November ๐
As always, Iโve color-coded your tiers and respective rewards so you know what to expect ๐ These lists are always a general base I like to start from, because sometimes Iโll do more during the month if I have time! This could include a blog post, a Meet the Artist post just for patrons (which I really wanna do!), voting polls for what to draw next (which Iโm thinking of doing for my 50k #dtiys challenge!) and whate...

Good morning everyone! I hope you're all having a lovely Saturday so far ๐
I finally doodled some cute little mascots for our tiers!! (Swipe through to see all of them!) I've been wanting to draw something for the tiers for a while now and just hadn't found the time, but I managed to doodle these last night!

Happy first day of November everyone! ๐
This is an info post about our special bi-monthly event that is starting up again this month for the Devoted Dragonfly tier ($10)! I mentioned in a big info post a few days ago that I would be moving this reward from the $5 to the $10 because of the number of requests, and I want to still be able to put effort into these and make them special for you guys!

Here is the official sketchbook tour to celebrate completing Inktober this year!! This whole month was a rollercoaster of emotions, and I can't believe I managed to finish the challenge with so many other things on my plate. Drawing every day is really hard, but I feel like it helped me to improve as an artist and I'm so happy I did it! I am super excited to get back into digital art again though, I've missed it so much ๐
So I'm a total goofball ...

Here is another patron portrait, and one of the rare cases where I draw a male! I do feel a lot more challenged whenever I'm commissioned to draw males, for some reason they don't come as naturally to me; but I always look forward to the challenge and any small improvements that come with it! ๐ I've attached the original selfie so you guys can see the reference I used ๐

Here is a little sneak peak of what I will be posting tomorrow for the Inktober prompt, โDark.โ When I was a little kid, I was afraid of the dark and I remember wishing I had some kind of light with me at all times to comfort me, especially at night when it looked like my stuffed animals turned into big shadowy creatures ๐ I couldnโt wait for morning to come!

I realized I haven't shared much of my rough work with you guys, so here's a really rough and messy page from my Inktober sketchbook! This was a quick 15 minute warmup session just to get my creative thoughts flowing before working on another inktober piece. I learned an exercise in one of my art classes when I was in college where you draw "automatically," without thinking or planning, and just create freely. At first it's a difficult exercise to practice ...

Here's today's drawing along with my initial ink sketch -- the prompt is pattern!

I also really love seeing everyone else's creations and reading their captions about how they're being challenged so farโจ
